Gom isn't concerned about getting dirty, but definitely worries his large frame could get stuck. Gom ties one end of his rope securely around one of his ankles and asks if anybody has a second rope for the other ankle. After a deep breath, Gom begins worming his way down into the hole, his weapons and shield stowed to free his hands, slowly unspooling the rope piled on the ground should an emergency recall be issued.
Selinae kept watch around the group as everyone else seemed very taken with the burrow, so much so that it seemed Gom was going to crawl into it, " Uh...I'm not sure thats the best idea. My Uncle Geoff was killed by a badger he didn't think was home at the time."
As you all stand, some distracted by the hole and tracks other by the scenery you can hearing a hissing coming from the hole. As Selinae begins to see what appears to be grass swaying as if some thing (or things) move towards Nimb at a fast speed.
Having nodded at Gom's decision to go into the burrow head first, Del was still kneeling holding the ropes for the brave orc when the hissing sound had started. Seeing the swaying grass, the naturalist listens carefully to the sounds even as he calls out calmly to Gom,'
"Friend, Gom. Something comes. Perhaps more than one something."

While Nimb distracts it, Jake will run up and swing at the weasel’s (W1) head. Curiosity over what kinds of medicine he could make out of it fill his head momentarily as he attacks.

Selinae sighed, " What did I just say."
" Alright everyone...lets just go inside. We're the ones who started this by messing with their house."
Selinae reversed her grip on her heavy oyster knife to strike with the handle base, " I'd appreciate if we went non-lethal on this, we're here for slavers not to slaughter wildlife. Besides, they're kinda cute."
Attack to dissuade weasel on Nimb:12 Damage: 7- Nonlethal.
Acrobatics: 24 (Though I assume the Weasel is knocked off Nimb now)
After easily and gracefully dodging the weasel, Nimb (on his turn, so after Del and Selinae) shoots W2 with his light crossbow, trying to hit it non-lethally. Attack: 10 Damage: 12
Back peddaling at the ferocity of this wild but clearly natural beast, Del nods frantically at Selinae's caution to not kill the creature, striking with the flat of his own blade in an effort to subdue the creature with minimal harm.
Once the animal is knocked unconscious, the remorseful genasi carefullly checks its vitals even as he lays its form back within the burrow, murmering,'
"I beg of thee, please forgive our trespass. The fault is mine, burrow brother. This land is... I am clumsy here and out of my element. Rest well and may your future hunts be fruitful."

Gom is stretched out on his stomach trying to crawl ahead in the tunnel when the commotion behind him alerts him to the threat up on the surface.
Awkward.
Gom had hoped to reach a larger room or nest somewhere ahead so he would be able to turn around and emerge headfirst, but now there was no longer time. Gom tries to reverse course and back out of the tunnel, but going feet first heightens the risk of equipment or his clothes getting snagged in the tunnel. With no weapon or shield ready, and backing out toward a menace he cannot even see, Gom scrabbles with as much haste as he can summon.
Watching Del inspecting a hole in the ground, Jake looks towards the house’s front door, patiently waiting to continue onwards.
Looking around at the group, Mizula asks "Well, does anyone want to volunteer to go in the hole or into the house?"

Weasel three comes out of the brush and bites at Nimb, falling short as it bites at the air. (Attack: 9 Damage: 5)
